What killed skeuomorphism is that it made it too easy to be tacky. Good art is hard work. It's easier not to make mistakes when you don't attempt to express anything. However, it leaves you with bland, forgettable designs.

I think skeuomorphism in GUIs was good, and it's a shame that it's gone. Designing websites & apps only using flat color boxes is like making music only using pure sine waves. Design should be art, grounded in our living experience. It should leverage textures, analog references

Last vestiges of skeuomorphism - shadows in floating buttons... so glad these are still around! In flat 2D GUIs - action buttons are difficult to make out. Requires context. Conscious processing. Should be instinctive, effortless...

It’s not just bland designs.. there are serious usability issues for non frequent users when an image is not self explanatory

It will come back. The cybertruck marks the end of the 2010s trend of "geometric" design.
